When public relations agency Weber Shandwick won a gold medal during PRWeek’s 2009 Global Agency Report Card, Global Agency of the Year by The Holmes Report, and Large Agency of the Year by PR News, I was certainly not surprised. It’s always exciting to be at a “cutting edge” agency that’s making headlines not only for its clients but also itself. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but working at a global PR agency provides an opportunity you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere—the ability to collaborate with individuals from and possibly travel to other countries. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a big traveler, but that doesn’t mean culture—and PR—in other countries doesn’t fascinate me!
With 15 practice areas and 18 specialty services Weber Shandwick is a place where you are extremely likely to find your niche. And being a global agency, they have many big name clients, including one of my favorites “got milk?” Weber Shandwick currently has paid internships in their corporate/crisis communications group in Los Angeles, CA and in Bloomington, MN. Both interns will serve as support to public relations account teams. Ideally, these internships will go to candidates who’ve already earned an undergraduate degree. Interested?
